the very beloved JP Patches died today, July 22, 2012. I never saw the original show, but Mark loved it! A man in a dress, a clown that lived in the city dump....that's when kids shows were just silly....
2 summers ago we saw JP at a car show in Fern Hill...a few years before that we saw him at a show at the Tacoma Dome, and that's when John became a Patches Pal. We did everything we could....
-----Here's a recap of our last time seeing JP. We loved him and his show....
Off we toddled to Fern Hill in south Tacoma to see Mr Patches. JP lived at the town dump, Gertrude wore a dress tho a man (even the kids knew that!) and well, for Mark, the rest is history...
So the Fern Hill car show was sweet... a few cars, some vendors...and JP PATCHES !! we couldn't get too close....he has many many fans! But we did wanna see him...he's quite old and may not be with us much longer...and he meant a lot to Mark, and I have grown to love him...JP And Mark (ha ha) in the years of growing moss here in PNW.
JP is a little hard to see...but he's next to the blue balloon.....just to the left of bald head man...
